Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Not Just 12 Sword Hearts

Jun Xiaoyao saw everyone looking at him and couldn’t help but offer a bitter smile, as he clearly understood the meaning behind their gazes.

Could he really withstand a move from Yang Xiaotian?

To be honest, not even he himself was sure.

He was strong, but not much stronger than Xie Buhui.

Whether he could withstand a move from Yang Xiaotian was truly hard to say.

Jun Xiaoyao looked at Yang Xiaotian with a strange expression in his eyes. He was the chief disciple of Azure God Academy, yet now he was considering whether he could withstand a move from a new disciple—how bizarre and laughable.

He really couldn’t figure out how Yang Xiaotian had been cultivating.

Moreover, with Yang Xiaotian possessing two Divine Elixirs, what was his Martial Soul?

He had always been curious about Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul and Soul Ring.

Ultimately, Yang Xiaotian won the contest.

Before long, the first round of the disciples’ competition ended and the drawing for the second round began.

In the second round, Yang Xiaotian drew Xiao Han, the wielder of the Demon Sword.

When Xiao Han saw that he had drawn Yang Xiaotian for his second match, his face twitched.

Although he was one of the Four Swords, he was ranked below Xie Buhui. If even Xie Buhui couldn’t withstand a single move from Yang Xiaotian, what about him?

But to admit defeat directly?

As one of the Four Swords, if he were to concede the match outright, his reputation would suffer irrevocably.

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly mustered his energy and stepped onto the arena.

Yang Xiaotian also entered the stage.

Xiao Han had a Demon Sword in his hand. Perhaps he was nervous, or he had forgotten the rules; he didn’t wait for the start of the match but suddenly urged his Acupoint True Essence to attack Yang Xiaotian with a fierce sword strike.

Watching Xiao Han, wielding the Demon Sword, lunge at him, Yang Xiaotian stood motionless, silently gathering his fourteen Sword Heart Power. Just as Xiao Han reached him, he suddenly said, “Sword, come!”

Sword, come?

In the moment of collective astonishment, they saw countless invisible Sword Qi suddenly congeal out of nowhere. It blasted through the heavy Demon Sword Qi of Xiao Han and struck him.

Just like Xie Buhui before him, Xiao Han was sent flying out of the arena and crashed at the far edge of the crowd’s sight.

The crowd was shocked.

“Divine Shadow Sword, it truly is the Invisible Divine Sword, slaying unseen!” exclaimed a core disciple in awe.

Clearly, the disciples all thought that what Yang Xiaotian had just used was the power of the Divine Shadow Sword.

However, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the other high-ranking members of the Azure God Academy were astonished and puzzled.

They could tell that the power Yang Xiaotian used to defeat Xiao Han was not that of the Divine Shadow Sword.

But if not the power of the Divine Shadow Sword, what was the deal with the thousands of invisible Sword Qi just now?

Yang Xiaotian had mobilized thousands of invisible Sword Qi merely with his intent. What kind of Sword Dao power was this?

Seeing Xiao Han defeated, core disciples like Jun Xiaoyao were shocked once again.

When Xie Buhui was defeated, Yang Xiaotian had made a move, but now, without even lifting a finger against Xiao Han, he merely uttered the word “Sword, come,” and Xiao Han fell!

The core disciples were not only shocked but also deeply despaired.

Jun Xiaoyao included.

Only Zeng Qianqian, watching Yang Xiaotian, showed a thoughtful expression.

Soon, the second round ended, and it was time for the third.

In the third round, Yang Xiaotian drew a core disciple who was in the late stages of the Venerable Realm and had the strength to be ranked within the top twenty. Yet as soon as he took to the stage, he shook his head and admitted defeat.

Following that, the fourth and fifth rounds saw the same outcome; all of Yang Xiaotian’s opponents conceded immediately.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chen Jing, Li Bi, and other high-ranking members all let out wry smiles upon seeing this result.

Before the competition, they had been worried that Yang Xiaotian would lose too badly, dealing a heavy blow to his spirit. Now, however, those core disciples didn’t even have the courage to challenge Yang Xiaotian.

They could not help but feel worried for those core disciples.

They even feared that after this grand competition at the academy, people like Xie Buhui and Xiao Han would be left with a psychological shadow.

Then, the sixth round of competition followed.

In this round, Yang Xiaotian’s opponent was Zeng Qianqian.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotian’s sixth-round opponent was Zeng Qianqian, everyone became invigorated, their faces filled with anticipation.

Although Jun Xiaoyao was the leading disciple of the Azure God Academy, many of the disciples believed that Zeng Qianqian was even stronger than Jun Xiaoyao!

In previous academy competitions, Zeng Qianqian seldom participated, and even when she did, she never fought with full strength, so no student had ever seen Zeng Qianqian’s Martial Soul.

Thus, Zeng Qianqian’s true talent remained a mystery.

Even Chen Jing, Li Bi, and other high-ranking members of the academy didn’t know Zeng Qianqian’s true talent and strength.

“I wonder if we will get to see Qianqian’s true talent and strength this time,” said Chen Jing, visibly looking forward to Zeng Qianqian’s upcoming battle with Yang Xiaotian.

Li Bi smiled and said, “Perhaps Qianqian will surprise us.”

Everyone was watching the stage, their eyes fixed on Yang Xiaotian and Zeng Qianqian.

Yang Xiaotian, looking at Zeng Qianqian, was equally curious about her talent.

Zeng Yongjiang, the Mansion Master of the Azure God Mansion and Zeng Qianqian’s great-grandfather, was the direct descendant of the Lord of Azure God. Among the four beauties, Zeng Qianqian was the most mysterious.

There had always been discussions among the academy disciples, claiming that Zeng Qianqian’s talent was so high that it even surpassed Mansion Master Zeng Yongjiang himself and was comparable to the Lord of Azure God from years past.

It was also said that Zeng Qianqian was being groomed as the next head of the Zeng Family.

Generally, the position of the head of the Zeng Family was held by male disciples; however, Zeng Qianqian, a female disciple, was still being groomed to take over as the next head, which could only mean one thing—her talent was incredibly exceptional.

Therefore, it was only because of Zeng Qianqian’s extraordinary talent that Mansion Master Zeng Yongjiang decisively pushed aside all objections and chose her to be the next head of the Zeng Family.

“Junior Brother Yang’s talent and combat power are astonishing,” Zeng Qianqian was the first to speak. “The power Junior Brother Yang used to defeat Xiao Han was the Sword Heart’s power, wasn’t it?”

As soon as Zeng Qianqian spoke, everyone was astounded.

“Divine Yang defeated Brother Xiao Han using the Sword Heart’s power? Not the Divine Shadow Sword?”

“What is this Sword Heart Power that can attack invisibly?”

Among the crowd, the disciples began to discuss animatedly.

Yang Xiaotian, taken aback that Zeng Qianqian could discern that he used the Sword Heart’s power, nodded with a smile and said, “That’s right, Senior Sister Zeng, I used the power of the Sword Heart.”

“It seems, Junior Brother Yang has consolidated more than twelve Sword Hearts,” Zeng Qianqian said slowly.

“What? More than twelve Sword Hearts!” Suddenly, the crowd erupted into a buzz of shocked conversations.

Wan Ning, Jun Xiaoyao, and others were shocked, as were Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the rest of the high-ranking academy officials.

Yang Xiaotian having consolidated twelve Sword Hearts was already frightening enough, but now Zeng Qianqian was suggesting that Yang Xiaotian had consolidated more than twelve!

“Could it be that Junior Brother Yang has consolidated thirteen Sword Hearts?!” a disciple guessed in shock.

“Thirteen Sword Hearts!” Everyone was so stunned that their minds reeled.

“Indeed, I have more than twelve Sword Hearts,” Yang Xiaotian nodded in confirmation.

“He really has thirteen Sword Hearts!” Many disciples gasped in shock upon hearing Yang Xiaotian’s admission.

Thirteen Sword Hearts!

Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others didn’t quite know how to express their feelings at that moment.

Thirteen Sword Hearts, if such news were to spread, what an enormous sensation it would cause across the Azure God Continent.
